Oh Noes: Residents of New Hampshire Having Their Outdoor Recreation Impacted by Tiny Increase in Global Temperature

Do you really notice the difference from an average temperature of 46.7F in April 1921 and … huh, 45F in April 2023? The mean of 40.7 really hasn’t changed much since 1895. But, you know, doom

Climate change is impacting outdoor recreation in N.H.

Winter in New Hampshire is changing. Snow cover is shrinking. The state has about three fewer weeks worth of snow-covered days compared to 50 years ago, and ice-out dates on Lake Winnipesaukee have crept eight days earlier. This year, it was on March 17, the earliest on record.

Meanwhile, the state’s outdoor recreation industry has grown significantly in recent years. The White Mountain National Forest has seen a nearly 50 percent increase in use from 2015 to 2020. Statewide, the sector accounts for around 30,000 jobs and is responsible for 3.2 percent of the state’s gross domestic product, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Visitors who come to New Hampshire to enjoy all of the outdoor recreational possibilities aren’t as worried about the changes in the climate, while those who work in the industry see cause for concern, according to a new study from the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire.

So, wait, it’s a bad thing that people are getting outside more? Seriously, can you tell the difference between 68.8 in July 1897 and 71.1 (the highest for the run) in July 2020? When the difference was 65.6 in 2021, sure. It’s a lot of freakout for nothing, and it’s just a normal increase in global temperatures due to a low level Holocene warm period.

Meanwhile, the Union Of Climate Cult Concerned Scientists are concerned

The Fossil Fuel Industry Continues Producing Heat-Trapping Emissions that Drive Climate Change

A new dataset released by InfluenceMap provides information on heat-trapping emissions traced to the 122 largest investor and state-owned fossil fuel companies in the world. Fossil fuels are the main driver of climate change and the terrifying effects of it that we see happening across the world. That makes this dataset a powerful tool for understanding how each of these entity’s heat-trapping emissions have contributed to climate change.

No, that’s not political at all, especially since InfluenceMap is very, very far left. But, really, would the fossil fuels industry keep producing if people weren’t interested in using? Blackberry no longer makes smart devices because no one was interested in them anymore. Companies close all the time because not enough people want their products. People want fossil fuels. I wonder how many at the UOCS still drive fossil fueled vehicles and take FF flights?
